Another beauty that was so graciously gifted to me from DAVID L 🎤! Realm’s “Moonracer” is now produced from these grapes. This Hartwell is incredible!!! Juan Mercado certainly picked a gorgeous winery to buy!!!
All the profiles that are in my wheelhouse: lush dark red fruit, just a minute hint of spice on the back palate., strong contender but Mole Hill ruled the world tonight!

2008 Stags Leap District Cab. Classic stags a leap with well integrated tannins that are soft and round. Notes of cocoa powder, cedar, dried cassis. Great length. Elegant profile all the way through. Drinking perfect.
